House Mouse - Hello Spring


Hi, Friends......

I hadn't played with my House Mouse images for a long time, so I decided to get one out and make a springy card. I don't usually reach for complementary colors, but this sweet image with the chickies and crocuses just called for lavender and yellow. 


I used a leftover Easter egg dye background that had very subtle shades of yellow and orange and stamped my image on that. I decided to keep the sky completely uncolored, except for what the background already had on it.



Supplies used include:
Stampendous - House Mouse Designs - Sharing Seed
Waffle Flower - Welcome Spring stamp set
Tsukineko Memento Ink in London Fog
Spectrum Noir markers
Sakura White Gel Pen
Canson - Mixed Media Paper
Sheer lavender ribbon from my stash
Core'dinations/Darice solid cardstock

Hope you liked my fun little card. The Meeces are always so cute!!! Thank you for stopping by.

🖤
Janis

  22. Goodness, I got so distracted by that oh-so-adorable set of images up top that I almost forgot to comment on this card. I always love House Mouse images but often forget to pull them out as well. This is such a perfect image for spring projects and what better card base than one of your Easter Egg dye backgrounds! Stamping the image in gray, rather than black, gives a wonderful softness that works perfectly with the pastel colors you used. Love this one!
